On Friday, October 10, Paul Pierce issued a statement via Threads, claiming the situation happened because he is “old and tired.” “Imagine being stuck in stand still traffic for 45 mins and falling asleep,” he wrote. “I’m old, I’m tired, and I fell asleep. I’m good y’all thanks for the love.” He posted a photo alongside the statement showing him stuck in traffic behind multiple cars. He did not address the alleged misdemeanor DUI charges.
